22. Carpooling, recycling, and planting trees are all activities that are good for the environment. Write an essay convincing readers to actively participate in one of these activities.
This is really nothing outrageous or unheard of; in fact this topic is the exact opposite. The environment is something that should be taken care of and not exploited. We shouldn’t take what we have for granted. Humans and animals don’t have to do that much just to keep the Earth healthy. Like it or not humans are the main cause for the Earth’s devastation. Look at what we have air pollution, murky water, lack of trees and parks, and last but not least dirty streets. All of which can be easily avoided if we put our resources together and try to make a change.
If you can’t accept the truth for what it is then I have to tell you what the outcome would be if try to eradicate more of our resources with no remorse. First, we would be covered in a cloud of endless smog. Second, our trees would all be cut down with no sprout in sight. Third, our oceans would go from a calm blue to an envious dark shaded green. Fourth, nothing but trash would be on the Earth’s surface. Finally, the Earth that we know now would turn into a place of despair and darkness. This reminds me of the Larux an old tale by Dr. Seuss.
The story that should give you an epiphany on the crisis that Earth could be in if we don’t retract our horrible ways. It told us about a man in search of wealth and power who would do anything in order to achieve what he wants. He chopped down a tree down in order to make furs so that people would buy them and he would become rich. He was told by the Larux( the one who speaks for the trees) to cease and desist immediately, but the man wouldn’t listen. He only had one goal in mind and that was wealth. The man said “Oh there’s plenty of trees to go around” and he kept chopping them down one after another. Then. his family members came and chopped down even more trees to make more fur.
The Larux tried and tried, but nobody would listen to his message or heed his warnings. Soon after the place that was filled with life and cheer became a dark, dreary, and desolate place. In the end the man sees the error of his ways and tells a child to plant the seed and start over. Does this story sound familiar to you if not it will unless we do something about this hazardous treatment to the environment. There are a lot of easy ways to do it we just have to get off our lazy hides and do it? Take the same car with others to your destination it cuts down on smog, traffic, gas, and on oil. Recycling all you have to do is put bottles, cans, and paper in a blue or green bin how hard is that?
Planting a tree all that requires is you putting an acorn in some dirt and pouring water on it in a spot that is rich in sunshine. If you think about it all of these things are simple ways to avoid a major crisis. So why not give a little to make a great change?
